Adventure Time Creator Wants To Make A Game

Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward just happens to be a big gamer, and if he had his way, we’d get an Adventure Time game that looks a little like Skyrim.

We recently spoke to Ward about the upcoming season of Adventure Time, the hit Cartoon Network animated show, and the eccentric creator let loose about his love for games. “I think games are amazing for telling stories. I don’t think that people do that very often. I think story isn’t always the most important thing to game designers, but I wish it were. I think that the best games have stories, and when I eventually make games, story will be front and center.”

When we pressed Ward about a possible upcoming Adventure Time game, he admitted, “I’d be stoked to work on an Adventure Time video game. I think that might happen eventually if the show stays popular. I vow to make a topnotch game.

“If it was a small budget I’d work to make a sidescroller, but if we had the largest budget in the world I’d love to make something like Oblivion, but set in the Adventure Time universe where it’s a giant free-roaming world. It might be fun to make it have Monster Hunter style gameplay with Katamari graphics.”

Ward is a big gamer. He talked with us at length about his play through of Dead Island, and admitted that the next season of Adventure Time would feature a lot of zombies. We wonder if we’ll start seeing a lot of dragons about halfway through the season once Ward starts Skyrim.

A collection of episodes from the first two seasons of Pendleton Wards show, Adventure Time: My Two Favorite People, goes on sale on DVD on September 27, for $14.99.

  • Not opposed to this at all.
  • I never really thought of the creator of Adventure Time as looking like that. Just goes to show that looks dont really matter. Unless its a game of course.
  • He can't even make a good show, what makes him think he could make a game?
  • Quite possibly the best show on television. It'd be pretty *** if Ward got to make a game.
  • bleeeeehhhh most of the shows on cartoon network and nickelodeon suck and are just bleeeeh
  • I've been saying this for months! This is great news! I can sleep easier at night knowing the creator is a real gamer too, and for him to want the game to be like Oblivion is completely unexpected and perfectly perfect.

  • Oh no. Oh please no. I really hope this never, ever comes to be. I really, REALLY don't like Adventure Time.
  • Oh hell yeah. I would like to see this.

    However, not as much as a Friendship is Magic game that has freeroaming elements such as the ones found in Grand Theft Auto or Red Dead Redemption or something.

    An RPG would be epic for both though.

  • I love you Pen, in a platonic way

  • I have no idea what Adventure Time is.
  • Adventure time is great.

  • adventure time is the best animated show on tv. And an open world adventure time game with mh gameplay and katamari graphics would put me in a coma of too much awesomeness
  • this would be cool haha

  • Eh, not a big fan of the show. Just... Look at my avatar.
  • I just hope that if an adventure time game ever gets made its not an MMO type game. Nothing against the fans of those types of games, they just aren't my cup of tea. Anyway, I think an Adventure Time game in the same field as oblivion or skyrim would be kick a**!!! Oh yeah, in case anyone cares, I'm going as finn for halloween. Before anyone starts saying I'm too old for halloween let me say this:
    You're never too old for free candy. FREE CANDY!!!
  • I normally hate everything on tv, but when Adventure Time came out I LOVED IT. It doesn't try too hard to be funny.

    I could really get behind a video game.

  • Sorry, but why are people obssesed with this show? Isn't it for little kids?
  • I love Adventure Time! It's like Spongebob on crack.
  • I've never even seen this show, but it sounds like it might be good if what is being said in these comments are true. I'll have to give it a watch or pick up a season on DVD/BD.
  • All I know from adventure time is from this insanely hilarious video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTq2WQnzlBA&feature=feedu
